Following the season, the Cardinals announced they were relocating their New York–Penn League affiliate to University Park, Pennsylvania, where it became known as the State College Spikes.
[1] The Can-Am League announced shortly after the Cardinals' move was made official that they would be expanding for the 2006 season and adding a team in Sussex County.
In 2014, after purchasing Skylands Stadium the year before, Dorso officially announced the arrival of the Miners, who began play the following season.
Instead, the Miners would play in the local All-American Baseball Challenge, a six-team league introduced to entertain fans during the pandemic.
The Miners had a stellar regular season in the Challenge, finishing first in the league's standings, but fell to the New York Brave in the opening round, eliminating them from the championship game.
In 2021, the Miners officially began Frontier League play, but missed the playoffs after finishing second in the Northeast Division.
As of 2024, the Miners play in the League's East Division, along with the Québec Capitales, New Jersey Jackals, Trois-Rivières Aigles, Tri-City ValleyCats, New York Boulders, Ottawa Titans, and New England Knockouts.
Following the 2022 season, it was announced that Field Manager Bobby Jones would become the Vice President of the New Jersey Jackals.
The rivalry exists both due to divisional alignment and geographic location, as both teams play in New Jersey.
